Python recipe execution error

[ManarAlmutairi]

I am trying to execute variables for coders hands-on code, and I have an error displayed below

and this is  line 23

Hi @ManarAlmutairi , did the initial build of the Flow succeed? That is, you have a scatterplot for the US? This would mean you have no code environment issues. If that succeeded, there are a few steps you could have missed:

- defining the variables

- adding 1 line of code

- changing 1 line of code

Let us know if that helps!

i think i have a problem with setting the environment.. how to set it? cuz I've been trying to set a new python environment from the settings but it won't work @SeanA 

[ManarAlmutairi]

 this is what is says

[ManarAlmutairi]

and i did nothing with the code.. i just copied it from the hands-on

Hi @ManarAlmutairi , your problem is the code environment. You'll see in the instructions that this tutorial requires certain Python packages in order to run successfully. We have a lot of documentation on how to set code environments depending on your instance. This tutorial is one example. If you're using Dataiku Online, you just need to switch to the "dash" code environment.

[ManarAlmutairi]

@SeanA  thank you for your reply! I tried to follow the document you've attached and still not working. 

Can you please walk me through the steps to switch to dash environment?

[SeanA]

Hi @ManarAlmutairi , if you are using Dataiku Online, then:

- Go to the top navigation bar. 

- Go to the More Options (3 dots menu)

- Click on Settings.

- Click on "Code env selection".

- For default Python code env, change the Mode to "Select an environment". 

- Choose "dash" as the environment. 

- Click Save.

there is nothing here

Hi @ManarAlmutairi what instance are you using? Dataiku Online, the free locally-installed version, a company instance?

[ManarAlmutairi]

i guess the free ver

[SeanA]

Hi @ManarAlmutairi , click on the question mark in the top right. Click on "About". What does it say next to version?

[ManarAlmutairi]

 

[SeanA]

Hi @ManarAlmutairi , so yes this is indeed the free locally-installed version. In which case you are the admin of the instance. And you have to create any needed code environments yourself. 

You need to create a new Python code environment with the matplotlib package. You can find example of how to do so here: https://knowledge.dataiku.com/latest/courses/advanced-code/code-in-dss/code-environments-hands-on.ht...

this is what i've done but still gives me an error 😞 @SeanA 

[ManarAlmutairi]

@SeanA .. is it possible to work on vs code editor instead? cuz i am working on a python recipe

[SeanA]

Hi @ManarAlmutairi , you can write the actual code outside of Dataiku (such as in VS Code-- there are different integrations for this). But to run the code within Dataiku (to run the recipe), you will need that package present in the code env.

When you try to create the code env, can you download and send the logs? You'll see a panel for it on the left.

[ManarAlmutairi]

@SeanA  pardon me, do you mean log files in the Maintenance tab? if so which file? because there is nothing appearing on the left panel of creating env option

 

[SeanA · Accepted solution]

Hi @ManarAlmutairi this screenshot shows that Python 3.6 is not installed on your system. You would need to install Python 3.6. Or when you click "New Python Env", you can choose another version of Python that you do have. 

Alternatively, you can start a free trial of Dataiku Online, in which Dataiku manages the Python environment for you, and you can just choose the dash environment.

[ManarAlmutairi]

aren't i using the free trial of DSS? if not how to start it?

[SeanA]

Hi @ManarAlmutairi , you are using the free edition locally installed on your machine. That one is free forever for you to use!

Dataiku Online is a managed version of Dataiku's software. When you go to this page, the first option you'll see is for the 14 day free trial. This is where to sign up for Dataiku Online (where Dataiku will manage the Python environment).

Beneath that, it says "Install the Free Edition" and "Select your System". That's the one you have.
